David, I suspect you might be thinking of git-cvsserver. The code has no known bugs, but is has only seen limited use by in-house dev teams. A good measure is to run an import of the current cvs project (I would try both git-cvsimport and parsecvs) and then get a checkout via git-cvsserver. Works great with traditional cvs cli and well behaved clients (TortoiseCVS). > am I remembering correctly, and are these tools ready for production use? > the popfile project is getting ready to abandon sourceforge and move to > self-hosting, but before I suggest that they use git I need to know the > current status of these projects (I think the ability to export directly > into the other interfaces is a significant advantage) Moodle (a project I hack on) is in a similar situation, specially after the SF.net debacle with CVS. It is very likely that it will move to git with git-cvsserver providing "anon cvs" and cvs over ssh to a very limited set of people with commit rights but no development knowledge (translators, etc). So there is a path forward. cheers, martin
